The Penetanguishene Mid-Pen Transit route is off the road for the rest of the day Thursday due to an unexpected operational issue, according to a notice from the Town of Midland.
The cancellation took effect Thursday, October 22, for the remainder of the day. The Town says service is expected to resume tomorrow morning, Friday, October 23.
"We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding," the notice reads.
Riders who normally use the Penetanguishene route will need to make other travel arrangements for Thursday's trips. No further details about the operational issue were provided, and the Town has not said whether any trips will be added to make up for the missed service.
What riders can do
The Town is directing riders to the Mid-Pen Transit page on its website for schedules and updates. Anyone with questions about Friday's service is advised to check there before heading out.
Mid-Pen Transit connects communities in the North Simcoe area, and the Penetanguishene route is one of the service's key links for residents travelling between Penetanguishene and Midland for work, appointments and errands.
Voting continues online and by phone
The same notice also reminded residents that internet and telephone voting remains open around the clock until Voting Day, Monday, October 26, at 8 p.m.
Eligible voters can cast a ballot online or by phone from any location at any time during the voting period, including from home or anywhere internet or telephone service is available, the Town said.
Voters who need help can visit the Voter Assistance Centre in person for support.
This story will be updated if the Town provides more information about the cause of the cancellation or confirms when Friday's service will begin.
